What an amazing dining experience! The decor and atmosphere is great for business, romance, or happy hour. They are fine dining without strict policies for attire. Their service was some of the best I have experienced. You are required to order all courses at once, which was my only complaint. They have amazing cocktails that immerse all the senses including adding smoke to the affair. Their food is to die for! They made special accomodations for my dairy allergy, including a unique green apple desert not listed on the menu. The menu changes frequently, but their oysters were the best I’ve ever had and their gnocchi, oh god. Sharing the branzino gives you more food and is absolutely delicious!
My wife and I had dinner on a Saturday evening and we couldn't have been happier with the food, ambience, and particularly the service. It was an uncrowded evening so had ample opportunity to discuss specifics of the menu with the staff. Particular attention was given to my allergy and intolerance and we will definitely be back.
Variety of seafood which I loved. Very high end. A bit pricey. They use fresh lemons for their martini that I tried I can’t remember the bartender she was great!
This was a fantastic experience. Everything we had was extremely unique and delicious. We ordered the five course meal but they brought out a lot more than just the five courses. They just kept on bringing more food and some special drinks. This was a very special occasion since it was so pricey but we both felt it was well worth it.
Fiola is EXTREMELY expensive. If you are not really, really into fine dining, skip it. However, if you are and you're willing to drop a lot of money on one meal, Fiola is a great place to go. First of all the decor is really beautiful. It reminded us of fine dining in New York City from decades ago. The decor is elegant but not ostentatious. It feels comfortable and decadent at the same time, which is hard to achieve.
The food is excellent. We had the 3 course menu, which of course comes with lots of extra small tastings and dessert. That was more than enough food for the both of us. They also offer a four course menu. There is no a la carte.
Parking there is easy if you're willing to pay for a garage. Otherwise you'll find it difficult. The service was wonderful. Our waiter was very attentive without being fussy. He was knowledgeable and helpful and made some really great wine recommendations to go with our food. Overall a really lovely experience and a worthwhile one, though it was a huge splurge.
